You might never have imagined Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein hanging out in a bar together, but Steve Martin definitely did. American River College is putting on a production of the comedian’s Picasso at the Lapin Agile, a play that imagines a fictional meeting between two of the 20th century’s biggest influencers in one of France’s most famous cabarets. As expected, the two set out to debate the merits of genius and talent. How does it turn out? Sources say there’s lots of talking, lots of drinking and plenty of Martin-esque antics.
